Reconceptualizing Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers, 3rd Edition, by Judith Sowder, Larry Sowder, and Susan Nickerson is founded on many years' research and studies of learning processes and mathematics education. Reconceptualizing Mathematics is designed for use in classrooms in which students take an active part in learning mathematics. This team of esteemed authors has written the only textbook of its kind to both incorporate aspects of student-centered learning into lessons and model the teaching that will be expected of their students. To this end, the authors provide worthwhile tasks, activities, and support for facilitating discussions.

Quantitative reasoning and problem solving are recurring themes in Reconceptualizing Mathematics. The authors approach problem solving in a way that teaches students to understand the elements present in the situation and how they relate to each other.

Macmillan Learning and WebAssign have partnered to deliver a comprehensive and flexible suite of resources for your math for teachers course. Combining the most widely used online homework platform with authoritative textbook content, Reconceptualizing Mathematics extends and enhances the classroom experience for instructors and students.
